Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro (pictured) visited a market in Taguatinga even though there have been rumors he was infected with the coronavirus. He said to the people that the economy of their country cannot stop because of coronavirus.

He stressed that what he has been hearing "from people is that they want to work," and that "we are going to be careful. That means everybody over 65 years of age has to stay home."

Bolsonaro said earlier he might take another test for COVID-19, days after two ministers in his government tested positive for the virus after attending an event in South Florida weeks ago.
